An annotation suggestion platform may comprise a client and a server, where the client captures a media object and sends the captured object to the server, and the server provides a list of suggested annotations for a user to associate with the captured media object. The user may then select which of the suggested metadata is to be associated or stored with the captured media. In this way, a user may more easily associate metadata with a media object, facilitating the media object's search and retrieval. The server may also provide web page links related to the captured media object. Suggested metadata may be viewed, selected, and associated through a user interface. The user interface may additionally provide space for web pages to be navigated and viewed.

A user interface for the annotation suggestion platform is also described herein, as are optimizations including indexing and tag propagation.
